Interviewer: Why can’t you be alone without Yoko?John Lennon: But I can be alone without Yoko, but I just have no wish to be. There’s no reason on earth why I should be alone without Yoko. There’s nothing more important than our relationship, nothing. And we dig being together all the time. Both of us could survive apart but what for? I’m not going to sacrifice love, real love for any whore or any friend or any business, because in the end you’re alone at night and neither of us want to be. and you can’t fill a bed with groupies. It doesn’t work. I don’t want to be a swinger. I’ve been through it all and nothing works better than to have someone you love hold you.

fuckyeahtattoos:

So today, 28 May 2012, after years of wanting it… this finally happened. My first tattoos.
The first is on my left thigh, and the second is on my right thigh. 
but first we’ll live.

The first, spoken by Ygritte in A Storm of Swords, is a snippet from my favourite quotation in the series. I really took it to heart when I first read the series; it struck me as a reminder that if I live in fear of tomorrow, I would never live life to the fullest. Instead, I live life and take it day by day, and live in the present. I live in the here and the now and nothing matters more than this very moment. Sure, tomorrow is inevitable, but there’s no point in wasting today away and holding back in fear now, only to live in regret later. It’s Carpe Diem at its finest. Or ASOIAF-est. 

one step and then another, and i will not fall.

The second is a thought from Jon Snow in A Clash of Kings. For me, the message is twofold. I’ve wanted this as a tattoo for ages, because it’s a reminder for me to take things as they come, to not let things overwhelm me. As long as I take things step by step, I’ll get through, I’ll succeed. And then secondly, after my accident in January that dislocated my knee and had me in crutches, these words mean even more to me in a literal sense. (That’s why I got it on my right thigh, because my right leg is the injured one).

Both tattoos mean so much to me on a personal level, as a reminder to keep buggering on and live life to the fullest, but then, in equal measure, they’re both excerpts from one of my favourite book series, from my two favourite characters. The font is Little Sparrow, which I chose because it had such a wildling-y, imperfect feel to it.
It’s a win/win, and I couldn’t be happier with my first tattoos. :)
